Our Mission Statement: The Frederick Rescue Mission is a Christ-centered ministry that provides a long term residential recovery program to the chemically addicted, food to the hungry, clothing and furniture to the needy. |
News and Upcoming Events! [Click link for complete listing]Just the Beginning Please note: the date of graduation has been moved to Wednesday, May 30th, at 6:30pm. On May 30th, 2012, the Mission will be honoring three men who have completed their time in the program and will be moving on to the next phase of their lives. Graduating the program is no easy task. A year in the Mission’s Changed Life Recovery Program is filled with many unique experiences—some pleasant, some challenging, some funny, some somber—and all, prayerfully, shaping and growing each man as he journeys through his year here. Many men are completely relearning how they think, how they react to life situations, how they deal with their past, and their views on God and the world. Additionally, the men spend each day side-by-side with each other, which can be a blessing and a challenge at the same time. They’re away from their families, some of them far away from their communities, and put under authority as they’re taught to be held accountable as well as hold each other accountable. We praise God for each man who has committed this year to the Lord and to their recovery, and has walked well the journey to this point. We also commit to pray for each man as he journeys on to the next phase of his life; because, as much as we celebrate the accomplishments and honor their recovery to this point, we also know this isn’t the end, but only the beginning. Summer Service Are you looking to serve this summer? Plug into the Mission! We’ll be holding new volunteer orientation on Saturday, May 26th and Tuesday, June 9th for all new individual volunteers and group leaders (applications available below). We currently have openings to serve breakfast and lunch through the week, for drivers, tutors, painters, and much, much more. Also—one way to get involved in your own community is to host a drive! Individuals and groups can collect things such as food, clothing, hygiene products, and paper products to donate to the Mission. Because the Mission is completely privately funded, everything we give out to those in need in the community is donated to us and therefore we’re always in need of many various items. If you’d like to get your church, business, club, housing development, friends or family involved, contact us for our most current needs. New Volunteer Orientation Our next orientation will be held on Saturday, May 26th. If you're interested in bringing a group to serve, you should arrive at 9am, and if you're volunteering apart from a group or as a family, please arrive at 10:30am. All group leaders and volunteers must complete a volunteer application; please click the link appropriate for you: Group Application or Individual Application. Once completed, please email these applications to emoore@therescuemission.org, along with any questions you may have about volunteering opportunities. Thank you for your desire to serve, and we look forward to partnering with you to serve those in need! One Divine Vision
The Frederick Rescue Mission seeks to rescue lives from poverty,
homelessness and chemical dependency. We exist to meet the
needs of hurting and broken people while inviting them into the
abundant life Christ offers to all. Every man that enters
with a heart surrendered to God and a cooperative attitude
should never have to see a prison, jail, homeless shelter, rehab
center or rescue mission again. He should never have to
sleep under a bridge, in an abandoned house or out in the woods
again. A changed life will call on Jesus instead of
alcohol, cocaine, heroin, and any other kind of drug. The
goal here is to see lives changed for eternity, now and forever.
